LS 400 4.0L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles

All i can say is all hail the motherland... Toyota knocked it out of the park with this quality built vehicle. My LS400 has been hit 3 times, 2 of which were full-sized, full-frame trucks. first was a Dodge Ram 1500, backed into my hood... left a small dent, but crumpled his bed and smashed in his cab corner!

I drift this car at least 5 times per day, do at least 2 good burnouts, and rarely change the oil! I redline this car from a cold start to get her warmed up quick on the cold mornings. every time I hop out of a new Chevy and back into my 97 LS I never miss that horrible road noise in low quality vehicles, or the rattles and clunks that come with "lightly used, never abused" Chevys.

Yes this thing has a straight bozo pipe coming out of the back and yes it sounds nasty when you drop gear under a bridge to fly by the douchbag in his V6 Camaro... my driveway will be littered with LS400's from 1989-1997. THANK YOU TOYOTA!!!!!
